A reminder to the news media: โ€œconflicting accountsโ€ is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.

A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.

The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds.

This is obscene.

That others in politics canโ€™t or wonโ€™t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face.

We are the 99.999%.

Tax the super rich.

The ex-Reform leader in Wales has been sentenced to ten-and-a-half years in prison for taking pro-Russia bribes

Nathan Gill's "sophisticated" activity was a "grave betrayal" of public trust, a judge said on Friday

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said Nigel Farage's party is a "danger to national security"

Have been thinking about โ€œimmigration has been tearing this country apart.โ€ Surely Iโ€™m not the only person to think that it isnโ€™t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

And I think the 'wide green leaves' is ivy too with the flowers. Getting false ivy leaves is easy but not so sure about versions with berries or flowers.

A Pharisees Flowchart

It starts with the question "Should I call this person a Pharisee?" The only path to "Then it's probably safe," is "Did the person live in or before the first century CE? Yes," "Was the person actually a Pharisee? Yes," and "Are you using the word as an insult? No." All other paths end in "Then please don't call them a Pharisee."

Here's a very helpful flowchart I nabbed from a recent book of essays, "Judeophobia and the New Testament." I hope it helps.
